I have version 3.2 of Open Office. i was wondering if there is way to sort items in alphabetical order.

Which OpenOffice app are you talking of... ? (calc, write, ...)

The open office application I am referring to is Write. I am working on a research paper and I need to do a reference page. I have all my references listed, just looking for an easy way to put it in alphabetical order. I can just copy and paste in alphabetical order into another document, but I was looking for an easier way to do it.

I'm not a great expert on this but I did have a look at some of the Help stuff for bibliographies and it does say you can use your own database rather than OOo's default bibliography. That being so, you may be able to use a database where you can sort the data into order, or create a query which is a selection of the data in sorted order.

Sorry, but I don't have any time to experiment with this - I am very busy at present - but I hope this may help.
